| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC Bryston 2.5 sst 2 w/a pair of Aerial 5T's. TT a Linn Sondek, Bluesound Node and a Cambridge Audio 752 BD universal player which go through my RME DAC. Apartment dweller so I can't really go big. | |

| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC jsqt The tube layout is exactly the same. 3 12AX7's for the phono preamp and 5 12AU7's for the preamp. In the SE they are using oil caps and the phono has 4 step up transformers 2 for MC high and 2 for MC low. Lp's have a lot of punch and are ver... | |
| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC jsqt I have the CL 38U SE which Luxman just made 100 for their 90th Anniversary. I compared it to the $10k VAC and to me it was no contest. Plus the phono which has 4 step up transformers/the same 3 tube design as the CL 40. I would give it a shot... | |
| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC According to Hegel your your DAC runs on 2.6 volts. .1 higher than Luxman. I would contact your Luxman dealer to see if this slight difference will have any affect. | |
| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC According to Luxman they use transformer balanced inputs. The inputs are at a Max of 2.5 volts. They say "Be aware if you connect the device w/a higher input level (higher output voltage) signal may be distorted." Check the specs on your Hegel. Th... | |
| Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing? I have 3 used record stores nearby. One is a High end dealer who has a nice selection. They also let me demo the records before purchasing. Many times they let me use the big room which has a $250,000 system. I have to laugh here I am w/a stack of... | |
| New Bluesound's Node 2i I added an RME ADI2-DAC to my Bluesound node. Got a big jump in SQ. The DAC chips in the Bluesound are very good. But they are voiced to sound a certain way. W/an outboard DAC you can fine tune the sound w/various filters and in the case of my DAC... | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing Shouldn't be a problem. I'm using a Dynavector 20 XL-2 LOMC w/my Luxman. Excellent results smooth quiet and dynamic. | |

| This is juvenile... Jayne Mansfield was a recording artist. Check out the song Suey it features some guitar player named Jimi Hendrix. | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing I have a Luxman CL38U-SE preamp and I can say the phono is outstanding. Dead quiet as the phono has 4 step up transformers. Two for MC high and two for MC low. It uses three 12ax-7 tubes. Art Dudley reviewed it at compared it favorably w/his Shind... | |
| DAC suggestion Please I would check out the RME ADI2-DAC. Also doubles as an excellent head phone amp. |
